Sweeping Color

While I am drawn in foreign countries to markets and street scenes off the tourist path, my fixer insisted that I see the famous Shwedagon Pagoda.

The Pagoda is fascinating and I’m glad I went, but as with iconic structures there are so many great images of the same subject all I could do is create an image that looked like everything else.

But I got super lucky when I saw this brigade of women dressed in beautiful colors pushing their brooms in unison and essentially creating one giant broom. Suffice it to say I spent most of my time following these women for the best angle.
